See the comment about normalizing.
You didn’t answer the question.
Which side do you think is obsessed with people’s genitals? Is it bad? Why did you bring it up in the first place?

Nice diversion.
Just to repeat the context from a previous note, in many countries they test students around the 8th grade and fliter out those who who score low. They don’t advance to their equivalent of High School so only their best students get tested.
In the US everyone gets pushed through High School and everyone gets tested. That’s why our test scroes are lower.
If we filtered out the lower students after the 8th grade like other countries do our students who went through High School would test just the same as anyone else’s students.
Gotcha, so its someone else that is obsessed with genitals despite you being the first to bring it up.

I’m not sure there is little interest. Trade schools do rather well in the US. Of course one problem is the off shoring of factory jobs and the automation of those jobs but there are other jobs available.

We are 6th in tertiary education rate by population. Trailing Japan and South Korea again.
This is a good point tho.

Why people so obsessed with that? Leave me be! I know I be different but people need to just mind their own bees wax. Bees wax… bees… honey…
Mmmm… honey…

Yep. I thank the critical drinker youtube dude and his candid movie reviews of late.
If I would have paid to see that latest Indiana jones movie…I’d have been really ticked off.
A movie so bad I’d not waste my internt to get it via “other means”. It literally would be a waste of electrons flowing over a a wire lol.
Whoa there, someone loves honey way too much! 
It’s okay. The language he’s using is obviously showing a desire to troll at best, and demean LGBTQ+ people at worst.

Sort of.
He’s larping a “centrist” while regurgitating right wing extremist talking points which is the only reason I poked at him.
He talks about how tough and unyielding he is, but can’t even acknowledge he hides behind a facade on a dying video game forum.

Sure but you have to be careful with statistics. For example, people who live in blue states test a lot higher on standarded tests than people in red states and we have a lot more people with advanced education degrees.
So the parts of our country where the high tech engineering, biotech and robotics are going on probably compare equally to any country on the planet.
The fact that our average is lower because people in red states don’t believe in education doesn’t slow us down as a country.

Honey tastes good. It goes great on toast.

There were a few uninformed people complaining that thrall cheated. They weren’t complaining about the impromptu therapy session in the middle of their fight to the death.
I think I prefer honey flavored things to actual honey, I’m a monster, I know.

You made the assumptions earlier. And here i clearly made comments on both sides of the political spectrum. Extremists are dangerous going either way.
Regardless, everyone is entitled to their own personal view.
This we agree with at least. And i don’t need to hide. Certainly not from you.
